I Love My Garden
I woke up feeling crippled by yesterday’s gardening. In spite of my aching body, I spent all day working in the garden today. It was just too beautiful to be inside. It was sunny and the temperature was cool enough (around 70 degrees) that… Continue Reading “I Love My Garden”
A Wintry Day
We woke up to a beautiful wintry world. I don’t know what the official totals are, but I think we got at least 7 inches of new snow. I believe I must be the only person in the whole Midwest who welcomed the snow… Continue Reading “A Wintry Day”
Hunkering Down
First thing this morning I got dressed and went outside to care for the outside cats. I was worried about the cats being too cold in this weather, but we can’t risk them bringing any illnesses into the house with JJ’s immune system so… Continue Reading “Hunkering Down”

Scarborough Tea
I thought today was going to be a difficult day because I stayed up much too late with EJ and I got up much too early with JJ. I like to greet EJ when he comes home from work and I like to fix… Continue Reading “Scarborough Tea”
There And Back Again
JJ starts college this coming Monday. We have been teaching him the route to the college by having him drive us there and back again several times over the last couple months. The last time he drove us to the college, I wrote down… Continue Reading “There And Back Again”
No Fleas on My Socks
This week started out really well. On Monday I did a little garden work and washed the windows. Meanwhile EJ had found a wooden shelf for a dollar or two at a garage sale that matched the other shelves we have in the kitchen.… Continue Reading “No Fleas on My Socks”
Companion Gardening
My husband likes to do companion gardening. For anyone who might not know, companion gardening involves planting two or more plant species together in order to create a beneficial situation for both. A number of different goals can be accomplished with companion planting. Some plants, like… Continue Reading “Companion Gardening”
